You can get a 2-pack from Canada pharmacy for $168. That is lower than my deductible. Something is fishy here… this is a “brand” drug BTW, not a generic.

I’m old enough to remember the big pharma giveaway by Congress, largely orchestrated by Rep. Billy Tauzin who went on to leave Congress and get a cushy job in the pharma industry. Medicare is not allowed to negotiate prices on drugs - that was just one of the prizes we (our reps) gave away. Now we have this, and many other drugs that we get to pay more for. I tried to use my FSA credit card to buy from Canada Pharmacy once and it “wasn’t allowed”. Basically, we are not allowed to do anything except spend more on drugs! Thank you, you crooked bastids.
